Herding Cows…Part 2

Filed under: New Zealand Trip — sharon @ 4:02 pm

So…who needs a horse, lasso, cowboy boots and a hat? A girl in bike clothes, a bright yellow rainjacket, with a big camera can do just fine. Clearly these guys (& girls) didn’t see much in the way of people. I walked across the street and they all started to move in towards this big, red bull with big, red bulging eyes. I was happy there was a fence between me and him. This one cow wanted to come closer, but he wouldn’t let anyone get out in front of him. The others in the car thought this whole clustering action was quite amusing – eventually almost all the cows had come in from this huge field and formed one giant clump staring at me. It was suggested the cows were blinded by the flourescent raincoat and could go no further…

Eventually the others caught up and the bicycles went up for the day and the ride into Fox Glacier from Bruce Bay. I think all of us got in a snooze on the way, except for Karsten, who was driving that day.
